Hiring Rae for our March 2023 wedding was, by far, the single best decision we made during our planning process. From our initial consultation through our wedding day, Rae and her team were an absolute joy to work with.

When I began to research wedding planners after our engagement, I was dismayed by how much of a focus some planners placed on design and aesthetics, rather than organization and logistics. But from my first conversation with Rae, I knew she would be able to achieve both. And she did! Rae created an absolutely beautiful vision for our wedding, but more importantly, she ensured our event flowed seamlessly from start to finish. Things were perfectly organized; everyone knew where to go and when. There was absolutely no chaos or disorganization, which made for a truly enjoyable day. Simultaneously, Rae ensured that our design vision was executed exactly as we agreed.

One of Rae's best qualities is her ability to actively listen and provide honest feedback. Rae took detailed notes during every meeting and listened carefully to my husband's and my wishes. Equally, she did not shy away from providing honest feedback and highlighting blind spots in our thinking. Her comments always reflected a breadth of experience and consideration for our core preferences. She guided us along, ensuring nothing would negatively impact our day. We truly appreciated her candid advice.

Another benefit of working with Rae is her top-notch vendor recommendations and local intel. My husband and I were planning an out-of-town wedding, so Rae truly felt like our "boots on the ground". She referred us to the absolute best vendors -- our guests are still gushing over the food, drinks, decor, and music -- and served as our advocate to ensure we got exactly what we wanted.

Lastly, I would be remiss if I did not mention that, three days before our (fully outdoor) wedding, the chance of thunderstorms was 90%. My husband and I were stressed and dejected. However, after a few phone calls with Rae, we were immediately put at ease. She presented us with multiple "Plan B" options and worked with us to put an emergency plan in place based on our preferences. At the 11th hour, the forecast turned and the storm held out. However, Rae had skillfully planned for both scenarios and was prepared to execute either Plan A *or* our discussed Plan B. She was truly a lifesaver.

In closing, if you are searching for a talented, dedicated, and experienced wedding planner, look no further. Rae and her team at Rae Nicole Events are in a class of their own.

Rae and her team were absolutely hands down amazing. From the start, Rae helped us plan a beautiful wedding ceremony and dinner in San Diego. Even though she is in Orlando, everything was handled perfectly and she went above and beyond to make sure we had the best vendors and the least amount of stress possible! Meadow and Penny ended up flying out for the actual ceremony, and they made the day 100X easier! Everything was so easy, all we had to do was stand there and get married! They helped set up, took control of where the vendors were going and when, and if there were any issues with any of the vendors or needs at all, they were handled right away! The care and professionalism Rae and her team showed us were absolutely unmatched by anyone else...from the first day we talked to Rae through the ceremony and private chef prepared wedding dinner. Not that I ever plan to get married again, hah, but I would 1000% use Rae and her team again! They handled this destination wedding with such ease and such professionalism. I can't thank them enough for every single thing Rae, Meadow, Penny and the team as a whole did for making my wedding day one to remember forever! Highly HIGHLY recommend, whether local or destination wedding based!!! (Photos uploaded taken by Kristen Weaver Photography)

I cannot even begin to express my gratitude for Taylor and her team. She has now helped me get married twice! Once for our COVID micro wedding and the second for our larger wedding. Both weddings could not have happened without her! She basically planned my entire micro wedding by herself! All I had to do was show up which was a complete relief after the stress of multiple postponements. I always tell her that the best thing that came out of COVID was the realization I needed her. The fact I was originally trying to plan a wedding on my own is insane now that I know all of the things she did for me on the day of. She handled everything that came at her with stride and hid all the little hiccups from me. I was truly able to relax and enjoy my day. Every bride deserves that!! Taylor truly went above and beyond what was stated in our contract. I also had the please of working with Rae and Ashley on the day of who are some of the sweetest people you will ever meet!
